Darnell Mooney Poised for Large Role in Giants Offense?

Monday, March 16, 7:22 PM

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney had a disappointing second season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, but he could be poised to bounce back in 2026 after signing a one-year, $10 million contract with the New York Giants in free agency on Saturday. After four years with the Chicago Bears to begin his NFL career, the 28-year-old pass-catcher looked good in Atlanta in 2024, catching 64 of his 106 targets for 992 yards and a career-best five touchdowns in 16 games played. Mooney's 992 receiving yards were the second-most of his career. It wouldn't last, though, as he played in 15 games in 2025 and finished with a 32-443-1 line before being released. Mooney will essentially be replacing Wan'Dale Robinson in New York in 2026. Robinson had back-to-back 90-plus-catch seasons the last two years. Will Mooney come anywhere near that type of production? Probably not, especially in a new offense run by Matt Nagy, but it doesn't mean that Mooney won't bounce back as a late-round receiver sleeper in PPR formats.

Breece Hall News

Still a Chance Breece Hall Plays 2026 on Franchise Tag

Thursday, March 26, 7:17 AM

There has been confidence from the New York Jets and running back Breece Hall that they can reach a long-term contract extension before the deadline in mid-July, but The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt still thinks there's a "60-40" chance that Hall signs a deal versus playing on the franchise tag in 2026. General manager Darren Mougey's general philosophy is to hold off on extension talks until after free agency and the draft, so it's unlikely that the two sides agree on anything until May or later. The Jets must decide if it's worth it to them to pay an RB significant money on a long-term deal, and Hall must also decide if he wants to stay in New York long-term. The 24-year-old is a complete back and had a career-high 1,065 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries in 2025 while adding 36 catches for 350 yards and another score in 16 games. However, he finished as just the RB19 in half-PPR scoring, and his overall ceiling in fantasy could remain low as more of an RB2 while the Jets' offense, which quarterback Geno Smith will lead in 2026, continues to hold him hostage.
